Greetings from NE British Columbia

I bought an Alumarine 16' HD and now that the fishing season is coming to a close where I live, I am in the planning stage for the work I would like to do to the boat over the winter. I hope to find lots of information and ideas on this website to help inspire me!

Welcome aboard, eh!
That's a good looking boat there, mister. Just curios as to what lakes you may plan on fishing in your area. I love northern B.C. and all its natural glory.
I hope to see your progress pictures as you spruce the boat up.
Thanks for joining tinboats.

Hey Stand Up,

Next year is going to be a bit of an exploring year for me and my son, so we are hoping to hit a bunch of different lakes in BC and hopefully some in your fine province, as well. The "local" lakes we have fished are Swan Lake, Charlie Lake, One Island Lake, and Dinosaur lake. I am still not sure what exactly I want to do to the boat, but I will most definitely show my progress on tinboats. Overall, its a great boat, but I just want to make it my own and maybe make some improvements along the way. I will most likely be installing a bimini top fairly soon. Thanks for the welcome and have a great weekend!

Welcome! Please share those pics when available!

I've been through Dawson Creek several times, driving the Alaska Highway. Most recent trip was last September when my wife and I made a 4-week tour of Alaska.

Can't say I have ever saw/ heard of that brand of tinnie. Any additional info for us curious folks would be appreciated...m

Hey airshot,

Here are some links to follow.

To be honest I hadn't really heard of the brand myself, until I bought this boat. I have been impressed with the boat so far, it seems to handle rough water well and is stable to move around in. It addresses the main issue that used to bother me with the Lund WC-16 that I owned before this boat. The WC-16 had a low transom and that always made me nervous when the waves were following plus it seemed like a shallower boat overall than the Alumarine.
